Chin-ups/Pull-ups - Rows - Deads.

I'd leave deads last if you are looking for "width" as they mostly yield thickness by targeting traps/mid-back, whereas chins/pull-ups hit your lats more and rows are about half and half.

If you dont have a pull up bar, try and buy one or make one. At least you can buy a doorway bar. The pull ups-chin ups work your outer area of the lats. Rows are very good to, but they dont work exactly that specific part wich gave you a more width back.

Pull up bar will be by far the most effective, but if that's not an option you can work the lats with rows and bent arm pullovers. Hard to argue with getting a door mounted bar though, really cheap and worth every penny!
